I am honored and privileged to have Able Muse just print my collection of poems, Bad Fame. I feel honored and privileged as well by Ed Hirsch, Richard Howard, and David Lazar being willing to write endorsements/blurbs for the book, David Lazar also writing the Foreword.

Obviously, I would love for you to read the book. Please order when you can!

Thank you, Alex Pepple for "taking" the book, for your generosity in working with me on it, and your . . . kind words, generosity, and wonderful spirit.
